Kia Ora, Talofa reader. Today I will be explaining the process of planning, making and finishing the project.
~ Week 3 – Zoe had created a website where we could plan out an inquiry question that could answer a question we had about our community. It had guiding questions that could relate to our big inquiry. There was also three pathways images , they were called : Science & Innovation, Society, Culture & History, Arts, Design & Creativity.
My kotahitanga inquiry conclusion.
Important connection: School and water
Why it matters: I create strong and long-lasting friendships throughout the years.
Pathways: Society, Culture and History and Science and Innovation
Topic: Dirty water around the community.
Guiding questions: What makes a strong community? | How could science improve our school

~ Week 4 –
Zoe had created another task/kotahitanga inquiry website from chatgpt. This one was about researching our inquiry question and the many ways we could answer it. I researched very hard to come up with answers, researching facts, and other guiding questions I could answer that led up to my main question. It took a very long time. After creating those mini questions, I researched varieties of things such as water pollution, wastewater treatments, pollution in school faucets and pipes. By Friday, I had filled out that whole site.

~ Week 5 ~
Zoe had assigned us another website that created possible careers that could lead to our main question. My main question is about water so I had to find a career that suited and made around water bodies. My chosen career was Marine Biologists. I found out that Marine Biologists mostly spend time in labs rather than diving in the ocean with dolphins.

~ Week 7 – Week 9 ~
We were told to make printings to create a presentation or poster about our question. Mine contained three main findings, a title, a FUTURISTIC scuba gear, and mini cutouts used as “stickers” , a showcase of my “Marine Biologists career & facts.” It took some time to create, plan , and lay it all out because aside from our projects, there was writing and maths. So after, I taped two Woodstock paper boards together and I made sure they were tight, then I applied and glued two black pieces of paper onto the boards to block out any of the Woodstock names. Then I made a layout of where everything will go. I glued my title at the top with my three main findings at least 2-3 centimetres under the title. I glued 3 cutouts around the title, then I put my futuristic scuba gear picture and explanation at the bottom left aside my Marine Biology and facts. Then I applied 4 more cutouts and my project was complete.
It took me a complete 6 weeks to plan, complete, and research all about my now finished project.
That was the project process in my perspective.
Have a good day, and don’t get sucked into an El Reno 2013 tornado.
